Left Thursday, Arrived Saturday

So, after one of the best nights of my entire summer experience with some downright amazing friends- playing stupidhead, smoking pipes, sharing stories, and going for an exciting walk on an extremely foggy night, i was up and awake and quite ready for my journey to Bosnia! The drive to the airport was a memorable one. I don't often get the opportunity to take long car rides with just my parents anymore so it was neat introducing them to some new music and allowing them the opportunity to talk down my nerves about my trip. Although I'm super excited about living and learning a new culture, I'm not going to lie and tell you there wasn't any sort of nervousness flowing through me. But thank God for parents and their ability to pump you up when you need it most. It was tough saying goodbye to the friends and family who had come to the airport to see me off. Even though it was a fabricated excuse for you guys to skip school, I truly felt loved that you were there...so thank you ;D All of our flights were all kind of a blur. I purposefully stayed up way past the point of exhaustion Wednesday night in order to guarantee some shut eye on the planes. BEST IDEA EVER! ...cos when we landed in Croatia i was pumped and ready to walk around with Jeff and get a taste of a new world. We walked around the cobblestone streets, visited some breathtaking cathedrals, talked culture, ate some delicious tasties, and then sat and people watched as we waited for our train that would take us into Bosnia. What a cool way to travel by the way! It was my first time taking a European train for that long of a distance...and i thoroughly enjoyed it. Then the sun rose...and i was able to see the gorgeous countryside of Bosnia...wow. We followed the river though the mountains all the way to the station. From the station we then walked up up up, all the way to the Summays house, and after Jeff gave me the tour i instantly fell asleep and took one of the best naps I've ever taken =D Welcome to Bosnia, Caleb!!!! WOOT!!!


Grace and Peace,

Caleb
